rat. Great n RATIONAL Calamity

The wear 1886 played sad havoc
with many prominent men Oh our
Wany Of them died without warn
ing, passing away apparently In the
full flush of life.
Others were sick but . compare
lively short time. We turn 20 our
files and are astonished to find that
most of them died of apoplexy, OF
paralysis, of nervous prostratlon, OF
malignant blood humor, OF Brlght's
disease, of heart disease, OF kidney
disease, of rheumatism or OF pneu-
monia.
It is singular that most OF our
prominent men die of these disorders.
ANY journalist who watches the tele-
graph reports, will be astonished at
the numer of prominent victims OF
these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in
our paper with others to the effect
that the diseases that carried off so
many prominent men IN 1886, are
really one disease, taking different
names according to the location OF
the fatal effects.
When valuable horse perishes, it
becomes the nine days. talk of the
sporting world, and yet thousands of
ordinary horses are dying every day,
their aggregate loss is enormous, and
yet their death creates no comment.
So it is with individuals. The
cause of death of prominent men
creates comment, especially when it
can be shown that one unsupported
disease carries off most of them, and
yet vast numbers of ordinary men
and women die before their time
every year from the same cause. !"
1t is said if the blood is kept free
from uric acid, that heart disease,
paralysis, nervous prostration, pneu-
monia, rheumatism, and many cases
of consumption, would never be
known. This uric acid, we are told,
is the waste Of the system, and it is
the duty of the kidneys toremoye this
waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the
uric, kidney, acid is kept out of the
blood, and these sudden and univer-
sal diseases caused by uric acid will,
in large measure disappear.
But how shall this be done? It il
folly to treat effects. If there 10 any
known way of getting at the cause,
that way should be known to the
public. We believe that Warmers
safe cure, of which so much has been
written and so much talked of by the
public generally, is now recognized
by impartial physicians and the pub
lie as the one specific for such
diseases.
Because public attention has been
directed to this great remedy by
means of advertising, some persons
have not believed in the remedy.
We cannot see how Mr.. Warner could
Immediately benefit the public in any
other way, and his valuable specific
should not be condemned because
some nostrums have come before the
public in the same way, any more
than that all doctors should be con-
demned because 30 many of them are
incompetent.
1t is astonishing " hat good opinions
you hear on every side, of that great
remedy, and public opinion thus
based upon an actual experience,
has all the weight and importance of
absolute truth.
At this time Of the year, the uric
acid in the blood invites pneumonia
and rheumatism, and there is not q
man who does not dread these mon
sters of disease; but he need have
no fear of them we are told, if he rid
the blood of the uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may
sound like an advertisement, and be
rejected as such by unthinking peo-
pie, but we believe they are the truth
and as such should be spoken by
every truth-loying newspaper.
